Exchange and domain controller issue

[gasca]

I have a problem with an Outlook client and performance against Exchange 2003 server.

The error on the client side is:
"Trying to get information from Exchange server dc1..."

The scenario is SITE 1 with exchserver1 and dc1 (main site) and SITE 2 with exchserver2 and dc2.

Affected users are on SITE 2 with exchange server on main site.

As far as I know, the only service that a domain controller may provide to Outlook is global address book which synchronizes Active Directory and Exchange.

What's more, affected users are on a different site than dc1 is located, so I thought I found the answer here:

http://www.msexchange.org/tutorials/MF017.html

by creating a new RUS (Recipient Update Services)

This is not possible as RUS rule would be: Users on exchserver1 (main site) check address book on dc2 (remote site), affecting main site.

Please any light shed on this issue would be appreciated.

Regards.

Do a google on "Global catalog exchange" and see if there is anything relevant to your topology

Why is the users at Site2 mailbox server located in Site1?
